Israel said it killed Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head of Hamas's armed wing in Gaza, following the death of his predecessor earlier this month. The killing occurred amid an active ceasefire that has been in effect since October 10, though both Israeli forces and Hamas have accused each other of violations.

Israeli forces killed Mohammad Odeh, chief of Hamas's armed wing, in a targeted strike in Gaza City on Tuesday night. His funeral procession occurred Wednesday as the second senior Hamas military commander to be eliminated by Israel in just over a week, following the death of predecessor Izz al-Din al-Haddad.
